Song Of The Day: ''Cowboy Town'' by Brooks & Dunn Random Fact: Ususally the song of the day is the song I'm listening to on my iPod. But for this one shot, all of the songs of the days will have the word ''cowboy'' in them. I am really listening to ''Gypsy'' by Shakira. _______________________________________________________________ (Kaly's POV) I woke up to the smell of the sweet Oklahoma grass. I was laying on Joe's chest. ''You're finally awake...did I tier(sp?) you out last night?'' I jumped at the sound of Joe's voice. ''Yes, actually, you did.'' ''Good. That means I'm doing my job right.'' ''Should'nt we head home?'' ''Do you want to?'' ''No. I wanna keep riding.'' ''Oh! So now you're quite the little southern girl!'' ''Shut up! I've never ridin a horse. It's really fun.'' ''I wanna take you shopping someday.'' ''Shopping? There's a mall around here?'' ''Well, no. But there's one in Muskogee.'' ''How far is that?'' ''Bout two and a half hours. Maybie a little more, since my truck's a peice of shit.'' ''Well, can we go today?'' ''If you want. We'll go to my house, put the horses up, I'll get my money and we can go.'' ''I don't except you to pay for everything, let me go home and get my money.'' ''Nah, I'd rather pay for it. If I take you out gamblin' some time you'll need it.'' I smiled at the fact. I'm almost...excited for my new southern life. And last night, I actually got a little bit of sleep. Okay, alot of sleep. Thanks to Joe. But in Seattle, there's cars ...
Just three verses of an old country song I always loved. The original Blue Yodel #1 was recorded by Jimmie Rodgers, the Singing Brakeman. The song was originally going to be call "T For Texas" but because Rodger's yodeling was so powerful they changed the named to the "Blue Yodel #1". A true classic that is still more powerful then anything Nashville can handle now. It was Jimmie Rodgers (along with the Carter family) that helped to popularize county music. Of course there are a million cover versions of this song. Back in the 1970s both Waylon Jennings and Lynyrd Skynyrd released lived versions of the song, neither of which featured yodeling. Both labeled their versions of the song as "T For Texas". As for what I'm doing here, I'm just having fun with my 4 String Cookie Tin Body Guitar-Dobro-Banjo thing. Tuned to DGDg with a Piezo Transducer taped to the inside lid.

Improvised rendition of "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right",a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962, and released on the 1963 album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. SORRY if you were looking for Bob Dylan version....normally never copy style of the original performer. Dylan once introduced "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" as "a statement that maybe you can say to make yourself feel better... as if you were talking to yourself." The song, written around the time that Suze Rotolo indefinitely prolonged her stay in Italy, is based on a melody taught to Dylan by folksinger Paul Clayton. NPR's Tim Riley described the song as "the last word in a long, embittered argument, a paper-thin consolation sung with spite." As well as the melody, a couple of lines were taken from Clayton's "Who's Goin' to Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone?" which was recorded in 1960, two years before Dylan wrote "Don't Think Twice." Lines taken word-for-word or slightly altered from the Clayton song are, "T'ain't no use to sit and wonder why, darlin'," and, "So I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road." On the first release of the song, instead of "So I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road babe, where I'm bound, I can't tell" Dylan sings "So long, honey babe, where I'm bound, I can't tell". The lyrics were changed when Dylan performed live versions of the song and on cover versions recorded by other artists. The original album version of the song is played in a fast, fingerstyle manner by, some speculate ...
Buck Norris sings "Georgia On A Fast Train" by Billy Joe Shaver. Billy Joe Shaver never became a household name, but his songs -- including "Good Christian Soldier," "Willie the Wandering Gypsy and Me," and "I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train" -- became country standards during the '70s and his reputation among musicians and critics didn't diminish during the ensuing decades. One of the best synopses of Shaver's upbringing is his own song, "I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train." When he sings, "my grandma's old-age pension is the reason that I'm standing here today," he ain't kidding. The "good Christian raising" and "eighth grade education" -- not to mention being abandoned by his parents shortly after being born, working on his uncles' farms instead of going to high school, and losing part of his fingers during a job at a sawmill -- are all part of his life story. "I got all my country learning," he sings, "picking cotton, raising hell, and bailing hay." Shaver did a quick turn in the Navy and worked a series of nowhere jobs (including the one in the sawmill) before trying his luck in Nashville. After several back and forth trips between Texas and Tennessee that gained him no response, he appeared one day in 1968 in Bobby Bare's Nashville office, where he convinced Bare to listen to him play. Bare ended up giving him a writing job. Shaver recorded one song for Mercury, "Chicken on the Ground," which went nowhere, but soon his songs began to see the light thanks to Kris ...

Waylon doing what he does best
1994 - American Revolutions - Waylon singing "I Do Believe" in the studio.
A Very early tune from Waylon
Waylon Arnold Jennings (June 15, 1937 February 13, 2002) was an influential American country music singer and musician. A series of duet albums with Willie Nelson in the late 1970s culminated in the 1978 crossover hit, "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys". Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 30, 1933) is an American country singer-songwriter, author, poet and actor. Along with Nelson, Waylon Jennings was also achieving success in country music in the early 1970s, and the pair were soon combined into a genre called outlaw country ("outlaw" because it did not conform to Nashville standards). "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" is a country music song written by Ed Bruce and Patsy Bruce. It was made famous by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, whose version was first released on their 1978 album Waylon & Willie. The song's lyrics advise mothers to raise their children as doctors or lawyers rather than cowboys, who seem to be "always alone." The Waylon & Willie version peaked at No. 1 in March 1978, spending four weeks atop the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart. Lyrics: Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day And if you don't understand him and he don't die young He'll probly just ride away Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make 'em ...
The man who preached the funeral Said it really was a simple way to die ... He laid down to rest one afternoon And never opened up his eyes ... They hired me and Fred and Joe To dig the grave and carry up some chairs ... It took us seven hours And I guess we must have drunk a case of beer. ... I guess I ought to go and watch them put 'im down But I don't own a suit And anyway when they start talkin' about The fire in Hell, well, I get spooked So, I'll just sit here in my truck And act like I don't know 'im when they pass Anyway, when they're all through I've got to go to work and mow the grass. Well, here they come and who's that Ridin' in that big ol' shiny limousine Mmh! look at all that chrome, I do believe That that's the sharpest thing I've seen That must belong to his great uncle Someone said he owned a big ol' farm When they get parked I'll mosey down and look it over, that won't do no harm. Well, that must be the widow in the car And would you take a look at that That sure is a pretty dress You know some women do look good in black Well, he's not even in the ground And they say that his truck is up for sale They say she took it pretty hard But you can't tell too much behind the veil. Well, listen ain't that pretty When the bugler plays the Military "TAPS" I think that when you's in the war They always hide 'n play a song like that Well, here I am and there they go And I guess you'd just call it my bad luck I hope he rests in peace, the trouble is The fellow owes ...

Canadian musician Allison Crowe performs live in concert "Me and Bobby McGee", the Fred Foster, Kris Kristofferson song recorded famously by Janis Joplin. music.allisoncrowe.com Images are from Billie Woods, ( www.billiewoods.com ), the terrifically talented photographer who regularly tours Europe with Crowe. These pics are from such locations as Frankfurt and Siegen, Germany and Durness, Scotland where Allison Crowe headlined the 'Northern Lights Festival', a benefit for the John Lennon Memorial Garden. As with her other interpretations, Allison Crowe doesn't mimic the sound or style of another artist. Instead, she covers songs in her own voice. "Allison Crowe is the best thing to happen to 'Me And Bobby McGee' since Janis Joplin changed Kristofferson's lyrics" says Allan Showalter. Showalter's entertainingly erudite "pastiche of a blog" (http ) 1 Heck of a Guy notes: "Of course, the credentials that matter most are her performances. If you haven't heard her powerful yet not strident version of 'Hallelujah'... I urge you to do so now. Then, for something completely different, listen to her take on Ronnie Shannon's 'I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)', which is (forgive me, Aretha) the best I've heard. " 'Me and Bobby McGee,' the song authored by Kris Kristofferson and popularized by Janis Joplin (although Roger Miller's version was the first to rank as a hit), is not one of my favorites, but it is useful as an example of Allison Crowe's skills, in part because most ...

Me and Bobby Mcgee By KRIS KRISTOFFERSON (Cover) "Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, originally performed by Roger Miller. Janis Joplin notably covered the song on the album Pearl. The song was recorded only a few days before her death in October 1970. (Courtesy Of wikipedia) Lyrics: Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train, Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained; Took us all the way to New Orleans. I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna, And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues. With them windshield wipers slappin' time, And Bobby clappin' hands, We finally sang up every song that driver knew. Freedom's just another word for nothing' left to lose: Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free. Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. Feeling good was good enough for me; Good enough for me and Bobby McGee. From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul. Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done, Every night she kept me from the cold. Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find. And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday, Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine. Freedom's just another word for nothing' left to lose: Nothin' left is all she left for me. Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. Buddy, that was good enough ...
Song written by Billy Joe Shaver. Waylon loved the line "The devil made me do it the first time, the second time I did it on my own."
I'm Not Lisa by Jessi Colter STUDIO VERSION "I'm Not Lisa" is a popular 1975 country and pop song by country music artist Jessi Colter. I'm Not Lisa From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [edit] History "I'm Not Lisa" has been said to be one of country music's greatest songs of all time.[citation needed] It was first recorded by Jessi Colter in 1975. Colter, the wife of country singer Waylon Jennings, was trying to establish her own career in country music. She wanted to go into the category of outlaw country music with her husband and other artists like Willie Nelson and Sammi Smith. She had recorded numerous duets with Jennings before writing any material on her own. "I'm Not Lisa" was one of the first songs she wrote the music to. The lyrics were written by a ghostwriter. Colter liked the song and decided to record it under her label Capitol Records. The song was then featured on her debuting 1975 album I'm Jessi Colter. The song soon was released as a single. "I'm Not Lisa" climbed the country charts that year and went directly to #1. "I'm Not Lisa" also achieved huge pop success. The song reached the Top 5 on the pop charts that year and made a Colter a household name.[citation needed] "I'm Not Lisa" became Colter's signature song. "I'm Not Lisa" was one of the early crossover country songs by a female artist, and Colter's only crossover hit. Lynn Anderson, Skeeter Davis, and Patsy Cline would also achieve country-crossover success during the 1970s. "I'm Not Lisa ...
